We are winners and losers, bed fellow choosers,
Put here to pass by the times.
We are space-age sailors, all had our failures,
Now everybody gonna shine.

Stars On The Water

(Rodney Crowell)
Down in Louisiana bayous by and by
A peirot pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide
Beer joint lights come on
And then crowd starts rollin' in
Pretty soon you got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
When it rains
Beaumont to Biloxi sea breeze at your door
Gypsy rains dang hurricanes
White silver sandy shores
Blue light lounge is shinin'
Why out on the pier
Makes it look just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
When it rains
When it's midnight down in Mobile
Shining moon beams on the bay
They come from miles around
To dance the jukebox down
Th hear the good time sounds they play
And all across the harbor night life shinin' on
Makes you feel just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
When it rains

God Aint Gonna Getcha For That

Hey you sittin in the corner
Cant ya hear the jukebox playin
Everybodys up doing the two step
And youre not even tappin your toe
Wont you let a lady buy you a cold brew
Loosen you up a little more than you dare to
Maybe take a ride in my cadillac
God aint gonna getcha for that
God aint gonna getcha for that
Hes much too busy with the guys in the black hats
Theres nothin wrong with a man and a woman flirtin with a honky tonk moon
God aint gonna pay no attention
If were just makin use of his invention
Come on baby dont hold back
God aint gonna getcha for that
I can tell youre the quiet type
Are you new in town or just a little bit shy
Didnt you ever catch me lookin
Ive been eyeing you all night
Wont you let a lady buy you a cold brew
Loosen you up a little more than you dare to
Maybe take a ride in my cadillac
God aint gonna getcha for that
God aint gonna getcha for that
Hes much too busy with the guys in the black hats
Theres nothin wrong with a man and a woman flirtin with a honky tonk moon
God aint gonna pay no attention
If were just makin use of his invention
Come on baby dont hold back
God aint gonna getcha for that
God aint gonna getcha for that
Hes much too busy with the guys in the black hats
Theres nothin wrong with a man and a woman flirtin with a honky tonk moon

Honk If You Honky Tonk

Well, I got a bumper sticker
On the back of my truck
There aint another like it
Cause I had it made up
I can tell whos behind me
They give themselves away
Lay on their horn when they read this phrase
Chorus:
Honk if you honky tonk
Dont if you dont
But, if you do
Dont you love to
Honk if you honky tonk
Me and Friday night go hand in hand
Ice cold beer and a swingin band
A girl on my arm that wont let go
She caught my little sign about a mile ago
Repeat Chorus
Well, just the other day I was cruisin through town
Sheriff pulled me over, I thought I had it now
I rolled down my window, he said with a grin
I want one of them stickers or Im gonna run you in.
Repeat Chorus twice
Honk if you honky tonk
I hear ya honkin, yeah
Im pullin over,
Lets honky tonk

Keep that candle burnin bright, mama
Ill be kind of late tonight, mama
Theres a yellow moon above me, mama
Shinin on the one I love, mama

While that candles shinin high, mama

I Can Only Love You Like A Man

(bernie nelson/scott miller)
From the time you were a baby
You had this notion in your head
Someone would come along and sweep you off your feet
Like in all those storybooks you read
Well if youre lookin' for salvation
Like some damsel in destress
Girl there aint no heroes on white horses
At least I aint seen em yet
There aint no knights in shinin' armor
There aint no never, never land
And I wont ever walk on water
I can only love you like a man
Now heaven knows Im no angel
Just flesh and bone like all the rest
I never clamed to have a halo
All I can give you is my best
But, I will never try to hurt you
Or even give you cause to doubt
That my heart is yours forever
Aint that what true loves all about
There aint no knights in shinin' armor
There aint no never, never land
And I wont ever walk on water
I can only love you like a man
No I wont ever walk on water
I can only love you like a man

Rollin On

It came as the daybreak
Must surely arrive
Opened my eyes just
To be sure I was alive
Another day
Theyre much the same
Twentyfour hours for me
To try again
Im rollin on, Im rollin on
Im rollin on, Im rollin on
It came as a judgement
We all have to face
Fickle hour you bring me joy
You bring me disgrace
Ill take your challenge
Man against emotion
Ill wager my beliefs
Against my sin
Im rollin on, Im rollin on
Well, Im rollin on
Rollin on and on and on forever
Yes, I am
Rollin, rollin, rollin on together
Rollin on and on and on forever
Rollin, rollin, rollin on
Yes, Im rollin on
To where I dont care
Crystal ball
You let me down again
Rollin down a road
Ive never seen
Meeting people
Seeing places Ive never been
Im rollin on, Im rollin on
Im rollin on, Im rollin on
Rollin on and on and on forever
Yes, I am
Rollin, rollin, rollin on together
Rollin on and on and on forever
Rollin, rollin, rollin on together
Im rollin on. Im rollin on
Im rollin on, Im rollin on
Crystal ball
You let me down again
Im rollin on ... well, Im rollin ...

Honky Tonk Songs

Bartender wont you pour me a very strong drink
Just keep it coming till I dont have to think
And point out some cowboy that might want to dance
And make sure I get home if you see that I cant
You see I loved him, he left me for a girl half my age
I relate to each sad song that ole jukebox has played
I listen to haggard, ole hank, and george jones
But why dont more women sing honky tonk songs?
Chorus:
Why dont more women sing honky-tonk songs?
About the heartaches and the tough breaks
And the men thats done em wrong
There are others just like me that are hurtin to the bone
So why dont more women sing honky-tonk songs
Why dont more women sing honky tonk songs
Honky tonk angels are just queens without thrones
Judge not lest you be judged, who can cast the first stone
Why dont more women sing honky-tonk songs
Repeat 1st verse
(all you lonely women sing)
Why dont more women sing honky tonk songs
About the heartaches and the tough breaks
And all the men thats done us wrong
Theres a whole lotta women I know would sing along
So why dont more women sing honky tonk songs
Why dont more women sing honky tonk songs

Movin On

(hank snow)
That big eighteen-wheeler, rollin down the track
Means your true-lovin daddy aint comin back
cause Im movinon, Ill soon be gone
You were flyin too high, for my little old sky
So Im movin on
That big loud whistle, as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, were comin to you
And were movin on, oh, hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I set you free
And Im movin on
Mister fireman, wont you please listen to me
cause I got a pretty mama in tennessee
Keep movin me on, keep rollin on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
And keep movin me on
Mister engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattlers the fastest in the southern land
To keep movin me on, keep rollin on
You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin on
Ive told you baby, from time to time
But you just wouldnt listen or pay me no mind
Now Im movin on, Im rollin on
Youve broken your vow, and its all over now
So Im movin on
Youve switched your engine, now I aint got time
For a triflin woman on my main line
Cause Im movin on, you done your daddy wrong
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
cause Im movin on
But someday baby, when youve had your play
Youre gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say
Keep movin on, you stayed away too long
Im through with you, too bad youre blue
Keep movin on

Told my pa I was going stepping out
And get the honky tonk blues
Stopped into every place in town

Went out last night I wore out my shoes
Woke up this morning wishing I could lose

Im gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm

Honky Tonk Woman

I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in memphis,
He tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
He had to heave me right across his shoulder
cause I just cant seem to drink you off my mind.
I'm the honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme a honky tonk man
I laid a V.I.P in new york city,
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady then she covered me with roses,
He blew my nose and then he blew my mind.
I'm a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme a honky tonk man.
(yeah!) I'm a honky tonk woman.

If The Whole World Was A Honky Tonk

If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
Over cryin' steel guitars,
And soon, they'd all be gone.
Yeah, if you asked me what I thought,
I'd say: "We'd be better off,
"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
You could smoke that cigarette,
An' be politically incorrect.
Show off that red 'round your neck:
Not hear a single soul object.
Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide,
Who is wrong and who is right.
No need for big expensive trials:
Brother, we'd just step outside.
If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
Over cryin' steel guitars,
And soon, they'd all be gone.
Yeah, if you asked me what I thought,
I'd say: "We'd be better off,
"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
Wouldn't have to pay no tax:
Just set a tip jar in the back.
If we ran low, we'd pass the hat:
I bet we'd all be in the black,
If the whole world was a honky-tonk.
Instrumental Break.
And if you're lookin' love:
Someone to heal that broken heart.
Hey, buddy, you'd be in half.
You wouldn't have to go that far.
If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
Over cryin' steel guitars,
And soon, they'd all be gone.
If you asked me what I thought,
I'd say: "We'd be better off,
"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
Life would be a three-chord song,
And the king would be George Jones,
If the whole world was a honky-tonk.

Honky Tonk Christmas

Pretty Paper" is playing on the jukebox
And mistletoe is hanging above the bar
I want to thank you for this
broken heart that I got
Merry Christmas Girl
Wherever in the world you are
It's going to be a honky tonk Christmas
For these silent nights at home are killing me
It's going to be a honky tonk Christmas
But I'll bi over you by New Year's Eve
"Blue Christmas" turn it up I wanna hear it
So I can unwrap all them Mem'ries in my mind
Hey Joe!! pour me some Christmas spirit
If I make it through December I'll be fine
Chorus
It's going to be a honky tonk Christmas
For these silent nights at home are killing me

Proud Mary

Left a good job in the city,
Workin for the man evry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin,
Worryin bout the way things might have been.
Chorus:
Big wheel keep on turnin,
Proud mary keep on burnin,
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
Cleaned a lot of plates in memphis,
Pumped a lot of pain down in new orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
Chorus
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You dont have to worry cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.
Chorus
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.

Where the big bulrushes grow
You find the old frog jumpin the water
He won't come up no more, babe
He won't come up no more, baby
He won't come up no more, woo
He won't come up no more, sugar mama
He won't come up no more
Smell that burnin' fire, baby
Burnin' in the sand
See that devil rise, mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, now
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, baby
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, woo
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, sugar mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand,
Oh, harvest moon
Keep shinin' your light down on me
The lord reach out his hand
My soul floats out to thee
I don't feel no pain
When they shot me down
Lay my body out, baby
They put me in the ground so cold
They put me in the ground, baby
They put me in the ground, woo
They put me in the ground, sugar mama
They put me in the ground
